# YGetPlaySoundObjectValues(3)

get playing sound object values

## NAME

YGetPlaySoundObjectValues - get playing sound object values

## SYNTAX

\#include \<Y2/Y.h\>\
 \#include \<Y2/Ylib.h\>

int YGetPlaySoundObjectValues(\
\
         YConnection \**connection*,\
\
         YID *yid*,\
\
         YEventSoundPlay \**value*\
 )

## ARGUMENTS

- *connection*

  Specifies the connection to the Y server, obtained by a call to YOpenConnection.

- *yid*

  Specifies the YID of the playing instance of the sound object that you want to stop. This value should have been previously returned by a call to YStartPlaySoundObject or YStartPlaySoundObjectSimple.

- *value*

  Specifies the buffer to store the values of the playing sound object. See YEventSoundPlay for more information about this structure.

## DESCRIPTION

The YGetPlaySoundObjectValues gets the play values of a sound object already playing. The value of yid must be that of one received from a call to YStartPlaySoundObject or YStartPlaySoundObjectSimple.

## RETURN VALUE

The YGetPlaySoundObjectValues returns 0 on success or non-zero on error.

## EXAMPLE

\#include \<stdio.h\>\
 \#include \<unistd.h\>\
 \#include \<Y2/Y.h\>\
 \#include \<Y2/Ylib.h\>

int main(int argc, char \*argv\[\])\
 {\

\
                 "/usr/sbin/starty",\
\
                 "127.0.0.1:9433"\
\
         );\
\
         if(con == NULL)\
\
                 [return(1)](/return/1.md);

        /\* Start playing a sound object. \*/\
\
         yid = YStartPlaySoundObjectSimple(\
                 con, "/usr/share/sounds/info.wav"\
         );

        /\* Get values of the playing sound object. \*/\
\
         if(!YGetPlaySoundObjectValues(\
\
                 con, yid, &value\
\
         ))\
\
         {\
\
                 /\* Handle values here. \*/\
\
         }

        [sleep(3)](/sleep/3.md);

        YDestroyPlaySoundObject(con, yid);

        YCloseConnection(con, False);

        return(0);\
